Hi All,

I'm fresher in PHP and I want to learn PHP very well..............Please help.........

I'm facing problem to fetch data from my existing table using below code:

mysql_select_db("my_db",$con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Persons");


while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['FirstName'] . " " . $row['LastName'];
echo "

}

mysql_free_result($result);


And the Browser displayed the below error message
